Event Description

iRun4Good’s "I've Got Something Better" event will benefit youth substance abuse prevention and treatment. It's time to make a clear statement to our youth they have much to look forward to in their lives as they pursue goals and dreams free of future-destroying substances. Faith-groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, individuals and local government are all invited to participate. All net proceeds will be donated to benefit youth drug abuse prevention and treatment.

Something for Everyone

  • Basketball Open Play
  • Whiffle Ball Home Run Derby
  • Obstacle Course
  • Lawn Games
  • Arts and Crafts
  • Best Costume Contest for Fun Run Participants
  • Motivational Speakers
  • Dance Performances
  • Music
  • And more…

Also, a community fair will take place before, during and after the race with information on community services and resources.

Why it’s important

  • 80% of Gilbert youth who used marijuana and Rx drugs started before they could legally drive.
  • Marijuana oil extract for vape pens and food products (edibles) contain approximately 60% THC levels than in 1970.
  • The #1 cause of accidental death in the United States is opioid overdose.

Help us put an end to it.

*This is a USATF Sanctioned event.
